just a note, you CAN put regular in the v8 but you will probably suffer worse gas millage for it and lower HP.

Regular... But something tells me that I read some place that ALL gas mileage ratings are taken using premium fuel. If it will make a difference, I don't know.

Check out this car and driver article. It talks about the difference between brands. My car is only getting fueled at a station on the top tier list mentioned in the article.

The ratings are done with the suggested fuel. Stick to science when it comes to octane. Leave the rumors and what not to die. |

Master of the V6
|
The alloytec V6 gains *ZERO* from using premium fuel. It has achieved all of it's programmed maps on 87 octane, it is pointless to use anything else.
The 8 can use std. fuel, but it will retard the timing aggressively as knock is detected. I wouldn't make a habit out of running 87. |
